研究目的
To design and synthesize highly efficient and stable dopant-free hole transporting materials (HTMs) for perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by molecular engineering, overcoming the limitations of Spiro-OMeTAD which requires additional oxidizing dopants due to its low hole mobility.
研究成果
The study successfully designed and synthesized three dopant-free HTMs with spiral structure, demonstrating that the introduction of conjugated groups can form ICT states, producing a self-doping effect to achieve efficient hole mobility without external dopants. The best-performing PSC using Y-1 as HTM achieved a PCE of 16.29%, outperforming devices with X59. This work provides a viable strategy for developing highly efficient and stable dopant-free HTMs for PSCs.
研究不足
The study focuses on the design and synthesis of dopant-free HTMs and their application in PSCs. The limitations include the need for further optimization of the molecular design to enhance hole mobility and stability, and the exploration of the scalability of the synthesis process for industrial applications.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the design of three dopant-free HTMs with spiral structure by inserting groups with different conjugated lengths (benzene, naphthalene, anthracene) between the spiral core and electron donor. Quantum chemical calculations were used to identify the designed molecules based on the mother molecule X
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The designed molecules, Y-1~Y-3, were synthesized and characterized. Their properties were compared with X
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The synthesis involved palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig reaction. Characterization included UV–vis absorption spectra, cyclic voltammetry (CV), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and space-charge-limited-current (SCLC) method.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The HTMs were applied in PSCs with a configuration of ITO/C60/perovskite/HTM/MoO3–Ag. The performance of PSCs was evaluated under one sun illumination.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The hole mobility was calculated via the linear fitting of SCLC free-trap regime using the Mott-Gurney model. The performance of PSCs was analyzed based on open circuit voltage (Voc), short-circuit current (Jsc), fill factor (FF), and power conversion efficiency (PCE).
